"To all ill 710m z'tm (4y concern:

'Be it knownthatl, 'STAN-rsLAW KUOZYN- sKI, a citizen of the UnitedStates of Ameri- -cayresiding at Gleveland,'in the county ofCuya'l'iogagandState of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Table Attachments for Beds, of which the following'is aspecification.

'Phis invention relates to certain new loand"usefulimprovements in tableattach- '-"ments for"beds and has particular refer- :enceto'themouriting'ofa table upon a' series of leverswith the table movableto a position'overlying the bed and 1n prox- 'imity thereto when inoperative position,'

and capable of being shifted to lie adjacent "the outer side of one endof the bed when out'of'use.

The primary 'object of the invention is to 0 provide'a table attachmentfor beds wherein "a'series of leversffor supporting a table areadjustably secured to the side rails of a bed with the table occupying ahorizontal position above 'the bed when in use and capable ofbeingshifted'to a position outwardly to one end of the'bed when out of use,the

jmounting for the tableproviding a rigid structure so that the table issecurely disposed above the bed, the table top occupy-" inga'perpendicular position adjacent the endof the bed so'as to occupy aminimum ofj space.

With ""the above .general objects in view "andgothers that will'appearas the nature "of"the' invention is better understood, the

same consists offlthe novel form, combination and arrangement of partshereinafter more fully described, shown'in theaccompa'nyin ':drawi11gsand claimed.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters designatecorresponding parts throughout the several "views,

Figure 1 is a s'ide'eleva'tional view of a" table attachment for bedsconstructed in accordance with the present invention, the same beingshown as attached to a bed and illustrated by dotted lines in itsinoperative position,

Figure 2 is a vertical cross sectional view taken on line II-II of Fig.1 showing the screw clamps for anchoring the table attachment to thebed,

Figure 3 is a detail sectional view taken on line IIIIII of Fig. 1showing the eX- tensible rod connection between the table nated by thereference numerals 3 having hent upper ends 4 overlying the rails 1 andlateral brackets 5 through which clamping screws 6 are threaded foranchorinsf the clamps to the rails as shown in 2. 7 is pivoted as at 8to the clamps 3 adjacent one end of the bed and have their pper endspivoted to the table 9, in a manner tobe later described. Extensiblelink members embodying bars 10 and 11 are arranged at opposite sides ofthe bed, the upper ends of which are connected to the table 9 while thelower ends of, the sections 10 are laterally ofl set to providemounting; lugs 12 provided with openings 13 through which pivot pinspass for mounting the same on the clamps 3 adjacent the opposite endof'the bed. The $5 connection between the extensible link sections 10and 11 embodies guide clips 14: carried by the upper end of the section.10 for enclosing the link section 11 while the inner end of the linksection 11 carries guide links 15 for enclosing the link section 10. Asshown in F gs. 1 to 3 the link sections 11 are provided with openings 16to receive pivot D1113 17 carried, by the levers 7, therebyproviding apivotal connection between the link 3o sections 11 and the levers 7,

The table top 9 embodies depending end plates 18 through which pivot rod19 passes for accommodating the upper ends of the levers 7 as shown inFigs. 1 and 2. An 190 angle slot 20 is formed in each end plate 18 andthrough which slots a rod 21 passes with the offset ends thereofreceived in the apertured lugs 22 carried by the upper ends of the linksections 11.

hen the table 9 is in the operative position shown in Fig. 1 the linksections 10 and 11 of the extensible support lie adjacent each otherwith the rod 21, connected to the outer ends of the link sections 11,positioned at the outer end oi the angle slots min the (lCJGDilUlQ;plates 7'8, the pivotal connection between the levers 7 and the sections11 of the link members providing a substantial mounting for the tabletop. The height of the table relative to the bed may be controlled byshifting the clamps 3 upon the side rails 1 while the position oi: thetable relative to the ends 2 01"? the bed may also be changed.

When it is desired to displace the table from the position overlying thebed, to its inoperative position, the table top 9 is grasped and movedin a direction to extend the link sections 10 and 11 with the levers 7moving on their pivotal connections 8 with the supporting clamps 3 andwhen so position, the table" top 9 is moved to a perpendicular positionto cause the bolt 2 to travel in the angle slot andbe supported at theopposite end thereof as shown by dotted In this position the table linesin Fig. 1. top 1s completely displaced from the bed with the supportingstructure in no manner interfering with the use of the bed for sleepingpurposes. r v ll hile there 1s herein shown and described 1' thepreferred embodiment otth'e present 'invention, it is nevertheless to beunderstood that minor changes may be made therein without departing fromthe spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
